Trying to conceive a girl?

Question

i am thinking about using the shettles method and wondering if there would be any effect based on how much my husband "renews" his supply...i would think that the new sperm would be 50/50 male/female, but i've heard different things...i.e...that the girl/boy sperm ratio would change. does anyone know?

Answer 1

I don't know about the ratios but I did read somewhere (?) that in order to conceive with a girl, s*x is advisable a few days before ovulation and for a boy, s*x should be the day before or on ovulation.

The theory is that male sperm reach the egg faster but then die off quickly if there is no egg to fertilize. The women sperm are slower but upon reaching the location of the egg can survive longer to await the release.  Make any sense?

That's all I know. Hope it helps....

Answer 2

Answer 4

Sperm live up to five days in the uterus. Females live for up to 5, males live for up to 3. You definitely want to have s*x before you ovulate if you want a girl!  Here's teh philosophy and it worked for us!

Here is how it works:

I read a book named Boy or Girl.

1. The male sperm race up to the egg more quickly than the female ones. (Just like in real life, males are generally stronger and faster than females.) For this reason, if you are hoping for a boy you should have s*x ON the day you are most fertile. They also die faster- usually live three days max!

2. Female sperm live longer -up to five days (as females in real life tend to do). For this reason, if you want to have a girl, you should have s*x three days before you ovulate. This way the male sperm will mostly be dead, increasing the chances that only female ones will be around to fertilize the egg when it is released. They are also slower.

ALSO:

You probably have noticed the vaginal discharge...The stretchy stuff (vaginal discharge) (egg white like stuff) is called spinnebarket, and its purpose is to carry the sperm up to the ovaries. I know it's gross, but if you put it between your finger and thumb, and it stretches stringy like, then women are at their MOST fertile period. Some other signs, without using the strips are:

sometimes ovulation cramping, and then one of the most TELLING signs that a woman is ovulating is sexual desire. Nature has a tricky little way to get women pregnant!

(p.s. I bought like 100 ovulation strips on E-bay for like $25.00. They aren't in the fancy packaging, or have fancy cases and all, but they are very effective and you can test twice a day if you want to because they are so cheap!)
